Auburn vs Duke

[WarDoubleEagle]

Auburn alum here! Traveling to Durham for the game next week - I’ve never been to the area. Any recs for restaurants or attractions to hit in the short time period we are there?

You will enjoy a magical atmosphere in Cameron...nothing like it....and walk around the campus, its very cool. I cant recommend places to eat but you will have a memorable time...enjoy...and Go Duke!

Welcome! I will echo Denver and say explore the campus. It's gorgeous. There are a ton of good pizza places and bars. I love Dain's and Bull City Brewery. Dain's burgers, though...A f$#king one.

Alley 26 or M Sushi for some fine dining. Both are walking distance from The Parlour for great ice cream and Pour for beer. All are walking distance from the Durham Food Hall and The Glass Jug Beer Lab by the downtown Farmers Market.

The Federal and James Joyce are two bar/restaurants right next to each other across from Brightleaf Square, and next to Gorsha for Ethiopian food.

Thank you for the recs! I will definitely be walking around campus to check it out. Have talked about going to a game at Cameron since I was a little kid. Then when Auburn scheduled it this year, I couldn’t pass it up!

Vin Rouge, NanaSteak, The Counting House

I'm sure there are more, but those are a few that come to mind.

Thank you. Which one is your favorite

Tough call. If you're looking for a local steakhouse in Durham, NanaSteak is probably the closest thing. If you go a little outside of Durham, into Raleigh, The Angus Barn is possibly the best steakhouse in the entire Southeast.

Angus Barn is the ticket. A great dining experience & great food.

Yes, you need to make reservations and there probably aren't any available this time of year.
If not, you can still go early and hit the Turkey Lounge upstairs. There will be a waitlist but it's first come, first serve.

It's a very cool place and it decked out for Christmas.

I know you didn't like the outcome but how was the experience?

 

[obatiger]

absolutely amazing. Really enjoyed the fans we sat next to. We play Alabama in sports all the time so we are used to the whistles. Really enjoyed our time here.

Maybe you can spread the word that not all Duke fans are a holes lol. Glad you had a good time.
